  Marilyn Halpern Westheimer, Marilyn Halpern Westheimer, 62, lost the battle with pancreatic cancer and departed this earthly life on August 6, 2011. She is survived by her husband: David Taylor; her two children Dr. Joshua Westheimer of Austin, TX and Emily Westheimer of Brooklyn, NY; David's son Travis Taylor of San Diego, CA, and her three siblings: Harriet Hearn, Gail Rogells and Michael Halpern. Marilyn was born in San Antonio, Texas on September 28, 1948. After attending Robert E. Lee High School in San Antonio, she attended The University of Texas at Austin and then The University of Houston where she received a B.A. in Special Education and later in life her Master's in Social Work degree. After several years practicing at The Mind Body Institute, she received her Advanced Clinical Practitioner's License and entered private practice as a psychotherapist. One of her professional passions was group psychotherapy and she served as an officer of the Houston Group Psychotherapy Association for several years. A Houston resident for 33 years with a vibrant social life, it was rare for her to leave home without running into a friend. Marilyn was an avid dancer for much of her life, enjoying ballet, tap, jazz and more recently, ballroom dancing. Her love of life was evident in her dancing, her love of travel and her devotion to her many friends and family. Marilyn was a caring mother, devoted spouse and beloved friend. She leaves a profound void in the lives of those left behind.
